Dodgen Optical Telescopes

Telescope Announcement

Dodgen Optical has joined the world of high-end amateur telescopes. The optics manufactured by Dodgen Optical are already well known in the industry for their extremely high quality. We have taken our phenomenal optics and put them into a high quality tube assembly. Dodgen Optical's optics have been featured in numerous optics and astronomy blogs and magazines, including Astronomy the magazine. Not only do we feature on-axis scopes, we also offer off-axis telescopes. For ten years, Dodgen Optical has supplied the primary mirrors to companies that specialize in off-axis scopes. Now, Dodgen Optical has developed its own line of four inch to twelve inch scopes. Custom scopes are also available. Dodgen Optical manufactures optics over one meter in aperture used in many applications, including astronomical telescopes. All aspects of the telescope manufacturing, including: primary mirror manufacturing, machining parts, painting, and assembling take place at our facilities. Optic sets are also available.
